I think perhaps your approach (in your question) is not put together right. Allow me to elaborate: - • For one, I don't think it's a good idea to tell ourselves "don't think about stuttering". We do...

weird brain activation

weird brain activation I tend to focus too hard on reading things out loud. The second I try to “dissociate” i somehow end up speaking almost perfectly fluently. This works too in normal conversation,...

I’ve secretly wondered my entire life if amnesia were real and if I had it would I still still stutter. I bet I wouldn’t. So much of this is learned behavior from such a young age we might not know ho...

I don't think you have anything to be ashamed of. Moreover, I think you've already come to a conclusion and maybe it's a good one. You can't "cure" your stutter. And it's ok, my friend. Some get rid o...

It's all about what your stutter is to you. One of the most important shifts in mindset I've experienced is transitioning from how I felt before I was 17/18 and after. Growing up I was conditioned to ...

Thank you for posting this. I can relate in regards to the conflict between stuttering and drug use. I found in college that drinking heavily reduced my stutter to be nearly non-existent. In my adult ...

That “fuck it” mentality has been a turning point for so many, including myself. When I told myself that I was going to finally live my life and not let my stutter hold me back, my fluency improved. I...

This is ultra alike in my case, i think it's because of the comfort zone related to stutter, it's just easier to say that little eh, yeah exactly, that's funny etc, add something little here, add so...

Nice video, I really understood where you were coming from. I'm 14 and even though my stutter isn't as bad as yours can be, on certain words, our speech patterns are very alike in the way we try to sa...

This is where the conflict comes in as that’s what sometimes happens but because I am covert, it’s very hard to start explaining to people who have known me for years (I was really good with suing avo...

The way I've ever approached it has always been a “okay, boyfriend knows it, has accepted it, still loves me, bring it on”. Even if it happens just try to act super natural and cool yourself down. I k...

Hey so this I figured out is part of the problem, other people don't generally "pre-load" sentences, and instead decode their idea back into words, phrase by phrase thinking along the way if this make...

To be realistic for a moment - sentences are never guaranteed to be perfect, regardless of a stutter or not. Communication is not about creating a perfect package and then sending it off in the same p...

That’s it exactly. Even here, on this thread, one poster (the person means well) said that I need to face my fear. To me, this is rude and pretentious (no offense intended). Why do I suddenly need som...

Hi! I’m starting a podcast myself and both are things I’ve thought about. I’ve found that when you talk about something your interested in, a more relaxed and confident side of your personality comes ...

I block and stutter in English(first language) since I was 6 but I don't in my 2nd language. A lot of it I believe has to do with the translation parts of the brain interacting also with the normal sp...

This works!! I dont stammer at all when I'm trying to imitate in another accent say British/australian. But For me this doenst work while using my native language. Strange....

I think a scene showing how frequently many stutters have to be concious of their speaking/techniques/etc could be powerful. I speak to friends, colleagues, and even family and when it becomes clear t...

I tend to find that if I’m having sex it goes away completely. Possibly because I’m not really thinking about what I’m saying as much. However, I think it’s more likely to be because I feel no pressur...

I had a good night a few months ago

I had a good night a few months ago One night in a hotel room, my friend encouraged me to open up about my stutter in front of him, so I began to consciously use my strategies. I wasn't embarrassed t...
